Hydrogen/Electricity Co-production System

This hydrogen electrical generating system and hydrogen and hydrogen-enriched natural gas fueling station is the result of a partnership that includes the City of Las Vegas, the U.S. Department of Energy and Air Products and Chemical, Inc. The project is a model for introducing hydrogen fuel at a reasonable cost. This facility will serve as a commercial demonstration of hydrogen as a safe and clean energy alternative. The use of fuels such as hydrogen as replacements for fossil energy has been proposed as part of the solution to environmental climate change issues such as global warming while at the same time achieving higher fuel efficiencies and lower costs.

The refueling station will be capable of dispensing hydrogen, hydrogen-enriched natural gas, and compressed natural gas. By selling both hydrogen and electricity, the cost of both products may be reduced compared to the cost of selling either by itself.
